Sweeet! Great build, and I bet it should run very well. The only little remark I would make is the size of the main connector attached to the copper busbar, it seems a little undersized compared to the rest. But I don't know how many amps you plan on pulling through it, so that might be ok. Anyways,...

While your motor is still opened, take a little time to make sure your magnets fields are correctly oriented, just in case.

Nice progress!
Just, could you post bigger pictures? We can't really see much

three vendors have a 17" in the 3-5kw versions. I'm leaning towards the NBPower 5kw kit but also looked into the QS. If you're going to build 3kw and the 5kw is not much more why not? if 72v/32Ah is a minimum it is what it is. the NB hub comes with a 100A sine wave programmable controller but I'll ...

That looks like a sweet, lightweight ride. What I would do: -remove the current subframe and build another one that goes to the bottom: This way you'd have lots of space for a big battery and no need to build it in a weird shape. -Find a way to remove the rubbish front brake, in order to replace it ...

As far as cutting the plates, there has been some previous discussion about it back around page 11 or so. It keeps coming up, but the current plan is to cut an 'L' in the side of the slot, and place a non ferrous pin into a hole drilled in the cut, as a lock of sorts. The second solution seem like ...

It seems to me like you didn't really test each cell, did you?
Are you sure that there is not one weak paralleled group?

Could be that you just got one or a few bad cells and that the rest is fine, so the BMS shuts down/indicates a low SOC because of these while the rest is still fine.

Thanks Dui, ni shuo de dui. Spacers are 1/2" flat stock, and I used a large end mill and just plunge cut the pieces in the vice. Mostly eyeballed it, and massaged it as I went. A couple of chamfers on the tops, and a bit of belt sanding. The only really precise cuts were the length of the spacers, ...

It doesn't have hall sensors. Sensorless startup on a hub with high power will probably blow it quickly. Good point, I didn't pay attention to that. It won't have good power handling capability. Look at the physical size. Not all controller regimes are that efficient. Even at 95% efficiency it stil...

If it's like the rest of the RC controllers people have used on here, big or small, they don't like high startup loads for very long, and don't usually have any way to actually monitor what's going on and react to it, so they blow up on startup. Not always the frist time, but eventually. That's wha...

Hi guys, I came across this thing, which is a ESC for hobby remote controlled race boats or surfboards: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32693130599.html?storeId=513485&spm=2114.12010612.8148356.53.51fd57c3ih4PQ3 800A per phase, apparently a 1000A/phase version exists too integrated BMS Programmable ...

Absolutely stunning work, kudos! I'm particularly impressed with the spacers, I wonder how you machined them. They look really beautiful. Too bad it doesn't work just yet, but I'm sure you will figure it out soon. I was wondering, aren't the aluminum plates on which are mounted the coils interract w...

Thanks guys, your explanations seem to make sense. I'm using the flux weakening on this controller (sabvoton 72200 unlocked) for now around two years without any issue. It was set to something like 40 amps. Top speed was around 117kmh. I just moved it a up quite a lot recently, probably around 80 am...

Most of you guys seem to miss a quite important point: all the quantities you mention are actually "theoretical exploitable resources considering today's extraction technologies and cost of said extraction". So basically, that's extremely far from the actual quantity of available material on earth. ...

Hello guys, I recently started to have a weird issue with my motorbike. Sometimes, when running at high speeds, the bike will suddently have what feels like a big burst of regen braking, then the controller would cutoff. This happens when I have the throttle either wide opened or slightly accelerati...

Awesome, you can squeeze a "reliable" 40hp from a motor rated for 10.7hp... but you put it in a 145hp (stock) chassis? "Rad". I really don't understand why you're spending so much time bitching on every single project. Isn't the point of this forum to do Electric conversions or did I miss something...

8000W is almost 11hp. Why start with a bike that had 145hp? I know it's a cool bike, but that's like putting a golf cart motor in a Formula One car. You obviously don't get how power ratings on those motors work. To be fair, no one really does :lol: They can deliver more than 30KW reliably. On a fr...

That seems like a solid design now. I guess it's time to get your hands dirty and actually cut the acrylic now! I would just suggest you to find a way to reinforce the attachment points of the pack. Plexiglass is brittle and it can probably fail if you encounter some bad roads. You dont want your wh...

Yesterday the weather was ok so i took it out for a ride. I set throt mid current down to 80A, and throttle control got much better, Good, at least this part is solved. but i had no chance to test at full speed, because it stopped totally, i think the BMS has blown. I can measure 57V on Controller ...

With only 50Ah, at 20kw with a 72v pack, that's 20,000 / 72 = 278 amps. If it's kept at that 20kw power demand, then it will use up the battery in around 10 minutes. If the 20kw is only a burst of power every so often, then it could last a lot longer. Let's say it's only 10kw continuous, then that'...

Seen it, lovely ride to get around on but I wouldnt be jumping it through a rythem section on a downhill track anytime soon Well it's not really the intended use of the OP now, is it? He's just looking for a scooter for his GF to do some light off road on unpaved roads, not riding down the cliffs o...

If both controllers had the same issue it is possible that the controller is not the problem. Might be the motor, sounds a bit like a short between phases. But I can't think of any reason why this would occur only in such specific conditions. That would also explain why your first controller blew u...

If you must have a scooter rather than a proper bike, go for a scooter with 20" wheels. Why you must have a scooter rather than a real bike is your own disability to deal with. Scooters are ok on short grass or dust paths etc at slow speed and fairly decent on an uneven tarmac road if you avoid maj...

just so you know, 500 / 32 = 15, so your new battery will weigh at least 15 times what your existing one does.

That was probably a typo, more likely to be 50Ah.
But yeah, more details and if possible accurate ones would be nice.

Thanks for your Help!, About the Hall Test, i set the amps to 15A then start the Test, the Wheel turns slowly and in the App it shows status "in progress" after that it stops and says "Hall Test OK" then i save the settings, thats it, i think this should be fine. Seems fine, that's the correct proc...
